NOTES for Job 19:25-26
This is why the long-suffering Job is closer to God than his devout friends. They try to see in the misfortune of Job God's logic, His just reward for sin and thereby to justify in a certain way the punishment of the innocent. Job cannot agree with that, he understands that evil is illogical, irrational, that suffering should not either be ignored, or justified, but that it is necessary to go through it, even crying and being disgusted. And go through to God, to His presence in life, to His salvation. And in this attachment to God, opens to Job what was hidden from his interlocutors: the Redeemer is alive, that is the One who " will settle the accounts " of Job and will take him out of sufferings, the One who will stop decay and death, the One who will eliminate the barrier between him and God. And he begins to see clearly here that it is not only about the immortality of the soul, but also of a genuine spiritual-physical life with God. And the very important word " though” is not about the reincarnation says Job, but of the genuine resurrection in his body, restored from the dust.
